Answer: Option A. "In front of the patient, pointing at his navel"

Explanation:

The X-ray of abdominal cavity is known as Abdominal x-ray. It has same principle as X-ray and uses ionizing radiation to take pictures of inner parts of abdominal cavity such as intestine, stomach, liver and spleen. it is used to diagnose patients with vomiting, unexplained pain, and nausea.

While diagnosing  patient's abdominal cavity, x-ray technician position the camera in front of the patient, pointing at his navel in order to produce a frontal view of abdominal cavity.

Talking about a x-ray machine, it is a compact apparatus which can be taken to the patient in a hospital bed or the emergency room. The x-ray tube connects flexible arm which further extends towards the patient and an x-ray film holder (image recording) plate is placed under the patient.

The technologist will ask the patient to take position on the x-ray table or bed and will position x-ray machine over the abdominal area of the patient, in order to take the frontal view of abdominal cavity. The patient will be asked to hold their breathe to get a clear picture. The technician will turn on the x-ray machine that allows  x-ray machine  to produce a small burst of radiation which passes through the abdominal area and records the frontal view of  patient's abdominal cavity. As a result, soft tissue shows up in shades of gray and air appears black while bones appear white on the x-ray, through which patient can be diagnosed.

Hence, the correct option is A "In front of the patient, pointing at his navel".

Given the fact that food manufacturers have to abide by food safety guidelines, do you think our taste buds are obsolete?
steposvetlana [31]
The answer is false. It is because the way the food manufacturers abide food safety guidelines or how they manufacture food will affect a person's taste buds. Obsolete means out of date-- which, will not happen to our taste buds as it does not involve in how the manufacturers dealt with the food and makes our taste buds turn to out of date or have it less developed.

What practice should an obese individual on a diet carry out
erastova [34]

Some foods and eating patterns may make it easier to keep obesity in check.  Healthy food choices and diet patterns that help prevent heart disease, diabetes, and other chronic conditions may also help to prevent weight gain.  

Eat whole foods-whole grains, vegetables, fruits, nuts, healthful sources of protein (fish, poultry, beans), and plant oils. Processed food should be minimal. Limit sugared beverages, refined grains, potatoes, red and processed meats, and other highly processed foods, such as fast food.

Vascular plants exhibit alternation of generation. What is alternation of generation?
Crazy boy [7]
<span>Alternation of generation is what happens in the asexual reproduction of vascular plants in their gametes, as haploid cells that came from their gametes, spores fertilizes another plant becomes a diploid cell in the process.

In terms of vascular plants, they help maintain the water cycle. The property of these plants enables them to carry out this function is their well-developed vascular system. These type of plants are more evolved and developed than nonvascular plants because of its specialized characteristics like xylem, which is a tissue that is responsible for its framework and not only that, it is also has a greater mechanism for water transference. Another is phloem, which is responsible for food conduction.<span>
